How To Draw A Hippo With Shapes

We’ve drawn a hippo before, but today we’re learning how to draw a hippo with shapes!

This is a super fun way to learn how to draw for young artists. This project uses simple lines and shapes to make a more complex drawing. Remind your young artists that it’s ok if their drawings don’t look perfect! The most important thing is to have fun. Also remind your little artists to draw a cool background after they’re done drawing the hippo. Use your imagination to make it fun.
